Ok Im picking up a RC 3" lift for my 98 xj. I have to available options wit the lift. Either buy the 3" lift with or without lower control arms.. Are the control arms worth the extra 110 dollars? Im not into crazy offroading, but I do go offroad.
thanks

The lca's are totally worth the money. They will make your jeep ride better, handle better, and flex better. Plus imo the stock arms are crap

I ordered Firestone Destination A/T 275/ 75/ 15 tires at the Firestone dealer the other day. They installed Firestone Destination A/T 225/75/15. These tiles look like Skinny Train Wheels on my XJ . I had 275/75/15s on it and I like the big tires. I told Firestone I dont want the tires , They said they will swap them out , but they dont come in 275/75/15. What is a good all around tire that I can get in a big size? I need good grip on wet roads and good for snow and that also handle good on dry roads . Can I get some help on what I need ????

Just got some Christmas cash and looking to buy some adj. Uca's. Was checking out a set from arc Fab 4x4 but guess that's a whole scam from what I've read. Need a set for 6-6.5" of lift.....and relatively inexpensive

If I do a 3" lift an my '01 cherokee, what are ALL the angles I should try to get back to the factory settings? My dad will only let me put a lift on if i am able to get those angles back to where they should be but i dont know all of the angles that will change. My dad just doesnt want stuff to wear out quicker due to the angle changes.. Please provide as much info you can! thanks!

Track bar relocation bracket for 3" lift. Sounds like a cheap temp fix until I get an adj TB. I've been told I can re-drill the hole, but I've also heard the holes would overlap at 3". Is the relocation bracket a viable alternative? I've read they get lose after only a couple months. Is there a brand that is better than the others?

I've got a loud thud coming from front end when I hit a bump, think I found the problem on driver's side, I installed 3 inch sway bar links and the nut is rubbing up against what looks to be bump stop metal bracket. What have people done to help correct the problem, I guess I could switch to smaller nut/bolt no help, any other solutions ? heat it an push it in some..

I put on a 3 inch aal about 6 months ago and my rear passenger leafspring has got a gap between the added leaf and one of the stock ones. The clamp is still holding it strong but there is about 1/4 inch gap between them. Is it okay?
